probably because SV signed the same contract napolis like wait a second im worth more lol. Doesnt bother me none. If we dont get him i say go get Swisher. He can play 1st full time. If we do end up getting him. Sign JH to play RF move SV to Center and trade Ells and some specs for a SP

98.5 thinks its likely that the Sox want language added to protect the Sox against some existing health issues.

6/27/09: “We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader,” Ainge said. “There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I don’t know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and it’s just unacceptable.”

With the deepest of regrets I am announcing that I will be leaving Pro Sports Daily. No reason in particular but wanted to thank everyone for a great 6 years here. Lots of great discussion and good poll series as well. Also fun re-drafts. Best of luck to you all in the future.

If for some reason Napoli doesn't end up here, Swishers chances of coming just took a jump.

correct me if I'm wrong, but if he did indeed fail this physical... wouldn't that be his second failed physical with Boston? (He failed a physical which prevented the sox from pulling a waiver trade for him 2-3 years back I believe)

Over the monster says "But Ken Rosenthal reports that the physical occurred on Monday, and the deal was scheduled to become official on Tuesday. Former general manager and current baseball analyst Jim Duquette reports that the Mariners didn't offer Napoli a contract because of concerns over his hip, and that only the Indians and Red Sox extended contracts. If you want to connect the dots, it's possible Boston doesn't like what they have seen on his hip, either. But, this is the Red Sox, so we're back to reworking the contract to compensate for this issue, rather than submitting a panic call to Adam LaRoche's agent asking what his client is up to these days."

Interesting.
